Meet the Team

Welcome to Avalanche Adventure! We pride ourselves on giving all customers an amazing experience. That is the job of our friendly team!

Meet the people who make up what is ‘Avalanche Adventure’. We’re more than just a business…

Robin – Owner & Founder

Introducing the main man! Mr Robin ‘Avalanche’ Sawyer. Robin created Avalanche Adventure Ltd in 2004 and has been at the helm ever since.

He likes to lead from the front! So don’t be surprised if he’s the one running your activities…even in his old age.

Matt – Instructor & Mechanic

Here’s Matt! The ‘Jack of All Trades’ Avalanche Employee! Instructor by day, Mechanic by night.

Some say he’s half man half machine. But we say he is 100% legend!

Chris – Instructor

Otherwise known as Chris the Redeemer, Jesus Chris and Father Chrismas, if he’s your instructor you will leave with a smile on your face!

They say you miss 100% of the shots you don’t take – unfortunately if you’re Chris you miss 100% of the shots you do take…

Paul - Instructor

Calm, calculated and efficient. Paul has spent many years at Avalanche, he still can’t seem to get enough!

P.S. You have to try one of his Pay & Play day Bacon rolls!

Lewis – Instructor & Office

Adventure, adrenaline and a need for speed…that’s just the life he leads!

When he’s not out galivanting on activities he’s tucked away in the Avalanche office.

He has often been referred to as the ‘Backbone of Avalanche’ – Only by himself.

Lesley - Office

If you’ve booked on to one of our activities, then chances are you have spoken to Lesley…

She’s the Queen of the Office! But she doesn’t mind getting out there and showing us how it’s done!

Mr Dozer – Resident Good Boy

Despite the inability to speak, he seems to be more capable than Chris (Again, I’m joking!).

Dozer is the resident Good Boy and has a very important role in keeping the Avalanche staff happy and entertained.

Huckleberry - Not so good boy

Introducing Huckleberry…but we call him the Incredible Huck!

He is paid in treats! He may not be able to reach the gears, but other than that he’s great!

Ash - Instructor

Now here’s a man who needs no introduction…

Ok maybe he does, here’s Ash! If you hear a Bristolian accent at Avalanche there’s a 1 in 3 chance it’s him…

His Dad & Brother work here too!

Lucy - Instructor

Although his name is Lewis, we have to call him Lucy…

“Sorry, that name is already taken.”

There’s nothing he would rather be doing than cleaning the fleet of Avalanche vehicles!

Ant - Instructor

Here’s Ant! This ex military man is both charming and good loo- maybe just charming…

Forming 1/3 of the Bristolian trio we have here, he is a welcome addition to the Avalanche family!

Iain - Shooting Instructor

Iain regularly helps out at the Avalanche shooting range. He is an excellent teacher, very patient and will make sure you get the most out of your session!

If you’re lucky, he will bring his dog with him…

Guy - Instructor

If you’re looking for an amazing experience, then here’s your guy…no pun intended!

The man, the myth, the legend…the GUY. Self proclaimed employee of the month…every month since he’s started.

He certainly doesn’t lack confidence.
